Joe Lee mapped out
this a new 18-hole challenge in 1975 with his trademark fairway
bunkers strategically situated . The course plays through some of Jekyll
Island's most pristine lakes and marshes. Lee named it Indian Mounds after
the large oyster shell middens deposited by aboriginal tribes hundreds of
years prior to settlement by Europeans. Indian Mound, like Jekyll's other
courses, is free of residential or commercial development, and as such
provides the golfer with a delightful confluence of wild flora and fauna.
Indian Mound and Jekyll Island Golf Club is the official host for the annual
US Kids Golf Jekyll Island Cup.
